UNLABELLED
We evaluated the duration of sensory anesthesia after blockade of the ulnar nerve of IQB-9302, a new local amide anesthetic, compared with bupivacaine. A double-blinded, randomized, cross-over study in 12 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 35 yr was performed. Three milliliters of 0.25% IQB-9302 was administered in one wrist and bupivacaine in the… (More)

BACKGROUND
The new local anesthetic IQB-9302 is an amide derivative bearing a cyclopropyl group, with remarkable long duration of action and relative low toxicity. In trying to characterize further its safety profile, the current study compared the hemodynamic effects of different concentrations of bupivacaine and IQB-9302 with saline.
METHODS
